I'm still picking away at the paint. When I'm not chasing dirt bumps I'm chasing tiny scratches, but often both. Got it unmasked and probably .001% of the mess cleaned up.
Hats off to the guys who can take something like this, DA color sand and just bang out those kind of jobs. I tried doing that for less than a minute and hated it, it all happens too fast......a novice like myself needs time to really look and see what's happening in the moment. The upside is, I ended up liking the 1500 green film/DA paper alot better than the standard paper for hand sanding so that worked out.
So far everywhere I tried to rush the process didn't work at all, so....forget it....I will just take my time.
With the Menards temporary booth lights taken down, the color flop from the different K factor of the shop lights is really apparent.
Looks good Rich. Are you going to put the hood stripes back on? When I painted the Road Runner, I left the car on the rotisserie, and it made the job of wet sanding, and buffing WAY easier. You realize how big of land yachts these cars are after a day of wet sanding...
